Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 417 The morning court begins! Meng Fang looked confused. Prince Fusu didn't recommend him?
Outside the Qilin Palace in the early morning!

The ministers stood outside the hall, waiting for the eunuch to be summoned to allow everyone to enter the Qilin Hall.

"General Han Xin and General Wang Ben will soon return to Xianyang City from the border."

"This time the two generals have returned victoriously. This is good news for the two generals."

"Especially General Han Xin, who had no military experience and made great achievements in his first service as a commander."

"Command the army, behead the Xiongnu Chanyu and drive him out of the plains."

"General Han Xin is indeed very capable. I now believe that General Han Xin's ability is comparable to that of General Bai Qi and General Wang Jian."

Several ministers gathered together and talked about Han Xin and Wang Ben.

"Now that Han Xin and General Wang Ben have returned to Xianyang City, the position of Border Commander has become vacant."

"My Lords, which general do you think His Majesty will appoint as the chief commander?"

A middle-aged man looked at the ministers beside him and asked.

The other ministers pondered for a moment after hearing what the middle-aged man said, and an old man spoke first:

"I think that His Majesty will let General Meng Tian serve as the chief commander."

As the old man finished speaking, a minister stepped forward and said, "I don't think your majesty will send General Meng Tian as the commander-in-chief."

"General Meng Tian had retired from his position as a border commander before. After returning to Xianyang City, he experienced two major wars between Baiyue and other kingdoms and tribes."

"General Meng Tian has won great victories in several major battles. Your Majesty, considering that General Meng Tian has fought many battles, you should let him rest well."

"We will send other generals to the border to serve as the main generals."

When the other ministers heard this, they nodded slightly.

"Since it's not General Meng Tian, ​​perhaps General Zhang Han will be the commander."

The old man looked at the other ministers and mentioned Zhang Han's name.

Several ministers nodded slightly, they felt that Zhang Han was a possibility.

"Your Majesty will surely ask Prince Fusu for his opinion on which general to send as the commander."

"The candidate recommended by Prince Fusu may be appointed by His Majesty as the new commander of the border."

The middle-aged man who refuted the old man looked at Fusu who was standing in the front.

Several other ministers also looked at Fusu, "Your Majesty, if you ask Prince Fusu."

"Prince Fusu will naturally recommend someone who is close to him."

A minister looked calm and expressed his thoughts.

The other ministers nodded slightly. They thought it was normal for Fusu to recommend someone close to him.

If they were in their place, they would do the same.

Meng Fang, who was standing on the other side of the ministers, had a smile on his face.

These ministers had the same idea as him, and Prince Fusu recommended him to be the commander-in-chief.

Your Majesty is likely to agree to Fusu's proposal.

"Hundred officials enter the palace!"

When everyone heard the eunuch's words, they walked into the Qilin Hall in an orderly manner.

After entering the Qilin Hall, everyone walked to their seats and knelt down.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Following the eunuch's loud shout, everyone sat up straight.

The First Emperor Ying Zheng, wearing a black dragon robe and carrying the emperor's sword on his waist, strode into the Qilin Hall.

Ying Zheng walked to the dragon throne and sat down, looking at everyone in the hall with a smile on his face.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When everyone heard what the First Emperor said, they knelt back in their seats.

Ying Zheng glanced at everyone in the hall and paused when he saw Fusu.

"My dear ministers, what do you want to report today?"

Ying Zheng's voice, with a hint of dominance, reached everyone's ears. Everyone looked at each other, and no one stood up to ask for permission.

Seeing that no ministers came forward, Ying Zheng said, "Since you have nothing to say, my dear ministers, please report."

"I do have something to discuss with you, my dear ministers."

"Generals Han Xin and Wang Ben made great contributions on the border and drove the Xiongnu out of the plains."

"There is no longer any major crisis on the border. I would like to ask Generals Han Xin and Wang Ben to return to Xianyang City to recuperate."

"I wonder what you think, my dear ministers?"

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he looked at everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, and a minister stepped forward and said, "General Han Xin and Wang Ben have made great contributions in the war."

"Your Majesty, please show some sympathy to the two generals and allow them to return to Xianyang City to recuperate. I second this motion."

"I second the proposal!"

When the other ministers heard the words of the minister who had stood up, they all stood up, bowed and expressed their agreement.

Ying Zheng smiled when he heard what everyone said, and said, "Since you, my dear ministers, agree with what I mentioned."

"I will issue an order to have Generals Han Xin and Wang Ben return to Xianyang City."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Ying Zheng looked at everyone and spoke again: "As soon as Generals Han Xin and Wang Ben return to Xianyang City."

"The position of Border Commander is now vacant. Which general do you think can serve as Border Commander?"

Ying Zheng looked at everyone and asked about the candidate for the new commander.

The ministers looked at each other and realized that His Majesty had indeed mentioned this issue.

"Your Majesty, I recommend General Zhang Han."

"Your Majesty, I recommend General Meng Tian."

"Your Majesty"

Some ministers stepped forward and recommended military generals who they thought could serve as the main general.

When Ying Zheng heard what these ministers said, he frowned slightly. There were too many generals recommended.

Ying Zheng felt a little confused, so he looked at Fusu and asked, "Fusu, which general do you think is suitable to be the commander of the border?"

The Qilin Hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to Fusu who was standing in the front.

As expected, His Majesty asked Fusu for his advice, and the general recommended by Fusu is likely to be appointed by His Majesty as the main general on the border.

Everyone had already thought that Fusu would recommend a general who was close to him.

The three brothers of the Meng family looked at Fusu, and there was a smile on Meng Fang's face.

He believed that Prince Fusu would recommend him, and His Majesty would also approve Prince Fusu's recommendation.

Meng Fang was ready to appoint himself as the commander-in-chief of the border.

He plans to practice his marksmanship well in the next few days, as the border commander's martial arts skills cannot be too bad.

When Fusu heard what the First Emperor said, he stood up and bowed, saying, "My father!"

"I recommend General Li Xin to be the new commander of the border."

As Fusu finished speaking, Qilin Hall became quiet again.

There was surprise in everyone's eyes. They didn't expect Fusu to recommend General Li Xin.

They all knew very well that General Li Xin had become much more withdrawn since the conquest of the six kingdoms.

There was no conversation between Prince Fusu and General Li Xin.

Everyone didn't understand why Fusu would recommend General Li Xin.

The three Meng brothers were also stunned, but Meng Tian and Meng Yi reacted quickly.

He looked at Meng Fang, who was pale and had wide eyes.

Yesterday the three brothers were still saying that Prince Fusu would recommend Meng Fang.

As a result, today His Majesty asked Prince Fusu about the candidate for the commander-in-chief, and Prince Fusu actually recommended General Li Xin.

Meng Fang soon reacted and looked at Fusu with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
